Yep, Brittany Murphy AND her husband who died of the same causes not long after.
But her mother who lived in the same house was fine. There was talk of "mold" contamination but one person is fine while two others die seems odd.

I just went down a crazy rabbit hole. This is thoroughly engrossing investigatory background info on the prime suspect:

I was going to mention him, but thought he was a director, not realising he was also a stage actor.

I read a bit about the case years ago. Never came to any conclusion about who might have done it.

The book I mentioned above names the killer. I am not sure I was buying it.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 6 years ago

Yes, there are a lot of theories about who killed him. I don't know that I buy any of them, but, who knows. We'll probably never know and it'll remain a mystery.

Anton Viktorovich Yelchin, pinned and killed in his home by his own car. Such a freak accident.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 6 years ago

That was so sad. I love Anton.

I wasn't aware of this person so I looked him up. Weird, for sure. Makes you wonder if today's science would have solved this one.
